Everyone one has bad habits, the trick is to realize the negative affects the habits can have on your health and quality of life. I am going to go over some common bad habbits and list some negative effects they can have on your quality of life.
#1 Smoking
Cigarettes are the single most traded item on the planet. They contain toxins and chemicals that harm our bodies, and as one of the biggest industries they bring in over 400 billion dollars every year. Smoking increases the risk of developing some serious health problems such as coronary heart disease, cancer, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Cigarettes coat your lungs with tar, preventing your lungs from absorbing the oxygen needed.
#2 Junk Food
In todays scociety peole have become comfortable with the idea of quick and easy. When it comes to your diet, quick and easy is not the anwer. Most of the foods we eat are loaded with sugar and/or sodium. Eating refined sugar only provides your body with temporary energy, it does not give you body the nutrients that it needs. When that enrgy is gone there is nothing left for your body to use. Your body also loses the ability to burn 'fat as fuel', which ultimatly leads to wait gain.
A lot of people in north america have high sodium diets as well. It is true that the human body needs approx. 500 mg of salt everyday, but too much can cause problems to your health. Too much salt can cause abnormal heart develpment, and is one reason for high blood pressuere, which can lead to many heart and coranary health problems. Other effects of too much salt: kidney disorders, digestive deseases, cloged arteries and dehydration. So stay away from too much sugar and salt!
